    Hi jpfeidal let's see what we can find on this together!

    Have you tried signing out from the one Dropbox account, and then signing into the one you want connected there?

    Are they paired accounts by any chance? Keep in mind that once you locally sign out of the account, you should be able to delete any of the content to free up hard drive space, without affecting the files on the account.

    Keep me posted on the results!
